Sonia Shah: Why we haven't gotten rid of malaria

Congratulations--you've gotten through another test!

And after you finished, we watched a TED talk about one of the topics we read about and discussed--why we haven't eradicated, wiped out, gotten rid of malaria.  Here is a prominent scientist talking about just that subject.  Her name is Sonia Shah and the title is 3 reasons why we haven't gotten rid of malaria.

Here's the link to the site.   For some reason they haven't put the subtitles on it yet, but if you go to TED Talks, you can read the script below the screen.

If you're a TOEFL test taker, try to listen to it without reading the script and take notes.  Then try to summarize it.  Read the script after that and see what you've missed.  Look up words or expression that you might have missed!

See you tomorrow.
